Description
A loud cry echoed across the partially frozen lake as a warrior announced to all that he was again victorious in his hunt for the elusive black bear.
...
Spring had arrived early this year and the thaw had begun. The man knelt and severed one of the bear s ears with his knife and tied it with sinew to his buckskin belt. The young warrior had great hunting skills for his years and many a bear had adorned his belt. The warrior pulled his prize in a sled over the thinning ice on the lake to within earshot of his village as he could hear children playing in the spring sunshine. The black ice gave the illusion of walking on water. His silhouette was visible from below the ice as it was framed by the pale blue sky above. He glanced down through the ice and for a fleeting moment saw the creature of folklore smash headlong through the ice with great speed splintering the reflection of the young warrior s face. As he stood realizing it was he who had become the hunted.
The saga continues for generations and into the new millennium as the creatures of Serpent Island continue their quest for survival.
